I never thought Eric Adams could be as bumbling and incompetent as Comrade Bill De Blasio was. I was wrong. Not only is Eric Adams totally worthless as New York City’s mayor, he’s going off to the U.S. Virgin Islands for vacation because you know, “he deserves private time”.
However, New York City’s mayor felt he needed to escape the major metropolitan area ahead of the natural disaster.
“I deserve to walk out of the building without a reporter hiding behind a flowerpot — without someone following me,” Adams said. “I deserve a moment to really de-escalate, and there will be many days that my body and my mind is going to tell me, ‘Eric, you need to get away.’”
The New York Post reported that Adams made the first deputy mayor responsible for the city in his absence, who held a press conference “giving a complete diagnosis of what’s happening.”
First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo offered a defense of her boss, saying, “Let me just say this to you — he might as well be here because we’ve been speaking constantly throughout the day,” according to the New York Daily News.
